Essendon lost because in the last two attacking plays they kicked it to the opposition who marked it. Think it was tippa and Shiels.

Can't win a close game if you turn it over in the middle constantly.
Absolutely. Essendon have themselves to blame, if they had capitalised on opportunities they could have won. However, the poor umpiring made it all the harder

From a complete neutral:
Langdon non mark: correct decision
Baguley free (and goal) for Langdon holding on: Both holding- play on
Stephenson: definite incorrect disposal and free to Bombers
Definite HTB against Collingwood player (forgotten who) when everyone stopped.
You’ll find Crisp actually handballed it forward.

they had no reason to boo Pendles. Use your brain
It seems that if you had been there, you wouldn't have booed. Doesn't mean there weren't plenty of fans that did.

I wouldn't take this personally mate, every club has idiotic, disrespectful supporters.

TV already reporting booing of Pendles. As I said, why didn't the booing continue when Bucks approached? No, it happened after he announced shame on anyone booing a champion.

Don't get emotional.

Hardly a convincing win by Collingwood, if it went even one minute longer, Essendon probably would have won.

Not going to discuss the umpiring, but that 2nd half and especially final quarter fade out by the Pies should be troubling for Buckley. It cost them big time in last year's grand final.

I wouldn't be too crestfallen if I was an Essendon fan, they held their own after that garbage first quarter (which did cost them the win in hindsight)

Pendles still a champion at his age, and I loved Joe D's game today.
As a neutral I'd concur with these thoughts. Essendon looked like being blown off the park in the first half but to their credit rallied and I thought more of the play in the last but some terrible turnovers coming out of the back half and some iffy umpiring cost them

Im proud of the way essendon played, and really enjoyed the game. Well done collingwood, they are clearly a better team than us. But the number of umpiring howlers made it a very frustrating loss. I mean when every player on the ground stops and the crowd believe it's a free, how can the umpires miss this? Not only once but many times

Because Bucks started talking about Anzacs and that clearly isn’t a time to show your displeasure is it?
Wrong, this was afterwards.

I just watched it back, Bucks wasn't being booed when he approached the microphone, only once he complained of Pendles copping it.
